Sir, there's something wrong here. I spent 20 years believing I was the only person who ever played Septerra Core, and it's too long to change my mind now.

That's usually the case for me too, but these games in the screenshot are older than the ones I tend to see in other posts like this so this one doesn't make me feel as old.

And then there's their child:

"fuck I still haven't done that. I need to do it soon. It can be later, but I need to do it. It's been months already, anytime now someone is gonna complain I didn't do it. Hopefully this week I will"

"Push" sounds exactly the same as the word for "Pull" in Portuguese (Puxe)

They can still argue that their definition of "you" is exclusive to a certain group of people

You probably have different gaming habits than me, or a hell of a memory. I've likely played over 4 thousand different games over the course of my life so far.

... Now I want to use one of those tools to try to figure out this number.

You're confusing "normal" with "common". Pain is never normal.

It's bad but at least it's something actually secure, unlike PayPal that dropped passwords in favor of a TOTP sent by SMS.

I think it can go either way. This sort of thinking is based a lot more on your life experience than your genetics.

A Media company owned by Telefonica.

I once worked for one of the largest media companies in my country and there was a project where they wanted to replace reCaptcha with a partner's system that made users watch ads and ask a question about the ad instead of typing some hard to read text.

Testing such system, I quickly realized that the captcha part of it could easily be bypassed by anyone with minimal JS knowledge (the answer was available in a global JS var), but the answer would not be accepted by the server unless the entirety of the ad video had been successfully streamed to the video component.

I still remember clearly the response I got when I reported to the PO that the system was unfit due to being easily bypassed with JS:

"no user is gonna be coding anything just to avoid typing the answer on the input".

Shouldn't have expected much more from the same company that had me wait for the responsible person to get back from their 1-month vacation when I reported that their customers' full credit card information was included in the output of a publicly available URL that only required an order ID.

But I later found out that most orders in that particular project were actually made by bots with stolen credit card information (the bots would use this company's shopping cart to validate which cards were still working so they could use it for something useful afterwards). In the end we were mostly just leaking information that had already been leaked before.

I've recently reorganized my office, adding extra 4k screens in the process and I was surprised at how many "modern" stuff just barely supports large resolutions if at all. Even some of the monitors themselves only support 4k resolution at 60Hz in one specific HDMI port. Most computers here also only had one HDMI port and so I needed adapters to be able to use the second Monitor's good port, but then most adapters also couldn't reach 4k 60Hz.

Going online to buy better adapters, they all try to hide the fact that they can't handle HDMI 2.0 and advertise as being 4k compatible with no mention of the refresh rate. I ended up having to order from out of state to be sure it would work, then wait for over a week for delivery.
